For a 2014 Honda Civic, the part price for a wheel bearing (often sold as a front hub assembly or a rear hub bearing) typically ranges from about $100 to $350, with total installed costs usually between $300 and $650 depending on whether you replace the front or rear unit, the brand (OEM vs aftermarket), and local labor rates.
Prices are influenced by several factors, including whether you’re replacing the front hub assembly (which often includes the bearing and wheel speed sensor) or the rear bearing, whether you choose OEM (Honda) parts or aftermarket equivalents, whether the job requires only the bearing or a full hub assembly, and the labor rate at your chosen shop or dealer. Location and any sensor work can also affect final costs.
Front-Wheel Hub Assembly Pricing
Prices for the front hub assembly and related parts vary by brand and whether the part includes the wheel speed sensor. Here is a general range to guide your planning:
- OEM front hub assembly (Honda branded, with sensor): typically $180–$350
- Aftermarket front hub assembly (non-OEM, with sensor): typically $100–$230
- Front wheel bearing kit (bearing alone, non-hub): typically $40–$90
- Labor to install front hub/bearing: typically $100–$250
Prices can vary by model year, region, and shop, and some shops may quote a bundled price for parts and labor or charge diagnostic/time fees if a fault isn’t confirmed. The total installed cost often falls in the broad range of roughly $300–$650 for front-wheel replacements.
Rear-Wheel Bearing Pricing
Rear bearings, especially on older Civics, can be a bit different because some models use a press-in bearing rather than a full hub assembly. Here are typical ranges for rear components:
- OEM rear hub assembly (with bearing): typically $180–$320
- Aftermarket rear hub assembly (bearing included): typically $120–$260
- Rear wheel bearing kit (bearing only, if available): typically $30–$70
- Labor to replace rear hub/bearing: typically $150–$350
As with the front, the total installed cost for rear-wheel service generally falls in the ballpark of roughly $300–$700, depending on whether a hub assembly or bearing kit is used and on local labor rates.
Where to Shop and What to Ask
To get an accurate quote for your vehicle, contact both a Honda dealership and reputable independent shops in your area. When you call or request quotes, ask for:
- Whether the price is for a hub assembly or bearing kit, and whether it includes the wheel speed sensor (if applicable)
- Door-to-door labor rate and estimated hours
- Any additional costs such as an alignment, rotor/resurface, or diagnostic fee
Shopping around and comparing OEM vs aftermarket parts, as well as quotes for labor alone vs bundled, can help you determine the best value for your Civic.
Summary
Replacing a wheel bearing on a 2014 Honda Civic typically costs part-wise from roughly $100 to $350, with total installed prices commonly between $300 and $650 for front-wheel replacements and $300 to $700 for rear-wheel work. Front hub assemblies tend to be pricier but include the bearing and sensor, while rear bearings can be cheaper when purchased as a bearing kit. Always verify whether the quote covers parts, labor, and any additional services, and compare options from multiple retailers or shops in your area.
